pickThis is classic Tom Clancy with developed characters and a ton of technical detail. I loved this book when I read it in the 90‘s and I also loved the movie. This time around the book felt a little dated, but the political drama and suspense makes this large book a quick read.

I‘ve read 38 cover-to-cover. My total is 46 if you count the ones I DNFd, which I am. I‘ve attempted Crime and Punishment and The Hobbit at least 3 times each. I will never finish them. The tagged book is one of my favorites from the list, although I bet it hasn‘t aged well. Several of these I read BECAUSE of The Great American Read, like Bless Me, Ultima, and I bought copies of a few others that I haven‘t gotten to like the Sister Souljah . #tlt

pick(1989) The 4th volume in Clancy's series of thrillers featuring intelligence analyst Jack Ryan has Ryan responding to a covert military operation gone sour, targeting drug production in Colombia. I haven't been a fan of this series but it's growing on me: it's turning into a sort of technothrillers where the "techno" is US political machinery (plus enough peril to keep the ship moving). Flaws, yes, but interesting, and this is my favorite so far
so-so(1987) Testosteroney, sometimes ridiculously so, and starry-eyed about royalty. But it promises thrills and then delivers them. If this is the kind of thing you like then you'll like it pretty well. On balance, I liked it better than expected.
